The Commercialisation team works closely with brand owners, CCEP GB teams and Central colleagues to deliver projects across CCEP's portfolio. We collaborate extensively with The Coca-Cola Company, Commercial Development, Sales, and Finance. Similarly, Engineering & Technology, Planning, Procurement, Manufacturing, and Logistics are key Supply Chain stakeholders.

It will suit an organised, calm, methodical and patient individual who takes pride in developing technical understanding, demonstrates strong attention to detail, has good judgment, and can simplify complex information for a senior audience. It is essential that you are comfortable with ambiguity and have an accountability mindset.
